Formula One bosses considered moving next year British Grand Prix back to April so that Silverstone could host the 1,000th championship race but that honour will go to China instead, according to the sport managing director Sean Bratches. Bratches told Reuters at last weekend Spanish Grand Prix that the British weather had made such a rescheduling impractical. Silverstone, which hosted the first Formula One championship race in 1950, will put on this year British race on July 8.
